WHY “CHRISTIAN” ZIONISM IS A CULT by Ted Pike — God’s covenants require obedience • God does have a land contract with the physical, believing Jewish people (Gen. 15:13-21) which will be fulfilled when a remnant of Jews repents at Christ’s coming • Cults do not produce fruits of wisdom, love, righteousness and justice but lead their followers into service of evil. Christian Zionism enables wickedness and makes Christians the servants of wicked men • “Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers in her sins!”

One of the greatest deceptions in the evangelical church today, destroying the world, our own country and the church — and turning many away from Christ.

“Christian” Zionism is the cause of much evil in the world today, as “Christians” support the evil, Talmudic Pharisees’ actions, and even follow them — unlike Jesus, Who rebuked them and warned of their Satanic leaven.

The first act of Christian cults is to distort the Bible’s original, clear teaching in favor of more recent “revelations” or interpretations. Cults may emphasize the few verses in Scripture that seem to support their beliefs but ignore a host which don’t. This is like taking scissors to huge sections of the Bible. Jesus says anyone who removes even a line of His Revelation will have their name erased from His book of life (Rev. 22:19).

This behavior precisely describes Christian “Israel-first” Zionism.

Ignoring Evangelism

Evangelism is the central emphasis of the New Testament. The Book of Acts opens with the Christian’s duty to proclaim the good news of salvation first to Jews in Israel and then to the whole world. Yet Christian Zionism is not concerned with evangelism to Jews. The foremost Christian Zionist leader today, Pastor John Hagee, forbids evangelism of Jews or even mention of the name of Jesus in his huge “pro-Israel” rallies. (See Hagee: Unrepentant Heretic) Christian Zionism is primarily devoted to upholding the right of a nation of Christ-rejecting Jews to occupy Palestine. It is primarily a political, not evangelistic, movement. How do Christian Zionist leaders justify such departure?

Ignoring Laws of Covenant Blessing

Christian Zionists quote passages describing the Jews’ special covenant, such as Genesis 12:1, 14-15, 15:18, 22:17. They infer that God wants Jewish safety and blessing as a top world priority and claim these verses grant Jews, in any moral condition, perpetual rights to occupy Palestine.

This is hardly what the Bible teaches. God says Jews inherited covenantal rights only because of Abraham’s obedience, an obedience they must duplicate in order to also inherit (Gen. 18:19, 26:4-5). This condition is clearly present in Deuteronomy 7:12 and 28:1-2:

if ye harken to these judgments and keep and do them. . .the Lord thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which He swore unto thy fathers.

if thou shalt harken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God to observe and do all His commandments…all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou but harken unto the voice of the Lord… (see also Hebrews 8:8,9)

The apostle Paul says clearly that God’s blessing was promised not to a nation of Abraham’s physical, unbelieving descendants but only to one person, Jesus (Gal. 3:16, 19). In verse 29 he says all who believe in God are children of Abraham and will receive his blessing.

[Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He doesn’t say, “To seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “To your seed,” which is Christ. – Gal. 3:16 – editor]

Yes, God does have a land contract with the physical, believing Jewish people (Gen. 15:13-21) which will be fulfilled when a remnant of Jews repents at Christ’s coming. But Paul encourages all Gentiles to now consider themselves “children of Abraham” where it matters – spiritually.

Not one verse in Scripture promises that unbelieving Jews can occupy God’s holy land in unbelief. Not one prophecy clearly says that God will allow an unbelieving nation of Jews into Palestine and convert them later.

If you are an evangelical, have you ever heard preached the dozens of clearest warnings to the ancient Hebrews that they cannot enter the land except in obedience and that if they are rebellious God will throw them out? Or that, once in exile, they can never come back except they obey?

Here are only several:

[if you shall corrupt yourselves]…I call heaven and earth to witness against you that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land . . .and the Lord shall scatter you among the nations… (Deut. 4:25-27).

It is also unlikely you have heard preached the many warnings by Christ and His apostles to beware of unbelieving Jews. Here is one example:

. . .for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen among even as they have of the Jews: who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men: forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins all way: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost. (1 Thess. 2:14-16)

It is hard to even imagine a pastor preaching from “anti-Semitic” passages which affirm that Jews who reject Christ are liars (Rev. 3:9) and “enemies of the gospel” (Rom. 11:28)—or that Christians should “beware of the leaven” (teachings) of modern Judaism (Mark 8:5)—or the many clear statements that blame Christ’s crucifixion on unbelieving Jews and their leaders. (See Are Jews Today Guilty for the Crucifixion?)

Like a broken record, Christian Zionists play and replay Ps. 122:6: “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.” You will never hear from their lips that Christ calls Jerusalem “Sodom and Egypt where our Lord was crucified” [Rev. 11:8], the embodiment of the sexual perversion of Babylon and occult of Egypt.

Ignoring Spiritual Adultery

Israel is portrayed more than 80 times in the Old Testament as the “mother” of spiritual adultery in the world. The whole book of Hosea and much of Ezekiel dramatize this unique distinction. Yet evangelical pastors and Bible teachers, largely for fear of offending Jews, never hint at the possibility that Israel is the “great harlot” of Revelation. Instead, all suspicion is heaped upon the Roman Catholic Church. Yes, the papacy was a spiritual whore, especially during the Inquisition and persecution of Protestants during the Reformation, bloody with the martyrs of Jesus. Apostate liberal denominations are also spiritually adulterous today. Yet only Israel, first to spiritually marry Jehovah and prostitute that relationship, can legitimately be called the “mother” of that scarlet sorority. (See ‘Babylon the Great’ is Israel)

Ignoring the Prophets

By forbidding criticism of Israel under threat of divine curse, Christian Zionism collides with the fact that God encouraged His biblical prophets and saints to warn wicked Jews away from their sins. He did so without any hint that such was anti-Semitic. On the contrary, God looked for and was proud of anyone who under His leading and out of love would rebuke wicked Jews. If God is unchanging, He also encourages and blesses those who rebuke evil Jewish leaders today. Don’t you think God wants Christians, as in the time of Jeremiah, to rebuke Jewish supremacist groups, like the Anti-Defamation League, who persecute Christians under hate laws and encourage sodomy and removing Christian symbols from America? God is grieved that not one national evangelical leader has the courage to publicly identify ADL as a threat to America but cowers before it, fearing the dreaded, potentially ruinous epithet “anti-Semitic!”

What precedent exists in Scripture to hold up 17 million non-Christian Jews today as beyond criticism? Scripture contains no example of exalting even onerighteous Jew or Gentile beyond reproof! Christian Zionism thus not only flagrantly omits Scripture it doesn’t like; it creates a false obligation to bless the wicked just because they are Jewish. This is a perverse, even racist, violation of the commandment in the book of James not to show favoritism to persons. This is a spiritual perversion. God hates it.

Most Christian Zionists agree that Israel is in spiritual darkness, even apostasy, en route to ultimate enlightenment through Christ. But no amount of Jewish evil can shatter their loyalty. Such includes creation of Communism (See Jewish Activists Created Communism), media control (See Jews Confirm Big Media Is Jewish), promotion of homosexuality, or injustices in the Mideast. Christian Zionists feel obligated to protect even the vilest supremacist Jews from investigation, criticism, or exposure—shielding them from any “anti-Semitism” that could possibly result in killing of Jews or even destruction of modern Israel, which they believe would frustrate God’s plan of the ages and delay Christ’s return. Such unbiblical fanaticism helps explain why literally no magnitude of evil coming from Judaism can disenchant most evangelicals.

Christian Anti-Zionists have a better argument than do secular anti-Zionists as they attempt to bring reason to evangelicals.

The New Testament describes Christ-rejecting Jews as dry, withered, castaway branches, devoid of special covenant protection. Jesus affirmed such withered branches, both Jew and Gentile, are “burned” by God (John 15:5-6). He said those who say they are Jews but reject Him are not true Jews at all (Rev. 3:9). Paul says such “children of the flesh” are not the seed of Abraham (Rom. 9:6-8) but are “broken off” (Rom. 11:19).

Sadly, Israel-first evangelicals are so habituated to ignoring Scripture that even the clearest Bible passages will usually not alter their protectionism.

Cults do not produce fruits of wisdom, love, righteousness and justice but lead their followers into service of evil. By encouraging evangelicals to give first loyalty to Israel rather than Christ and the whole Bible, including evangelism to Jews, Christian Zionism makes Christians the servants of wicked men. Taught to bless Israel no matter what, Christians become callous and depraved toward the Arabs, whom God loves as much as Jews. Like Saul of Tarsus, who held the cloaks of those who stoned righteous Stephen, the pro-Zionist church bids Godspeed to evil men and becomes “a partaker of their evil deeds” (II John 11).

The verdict is clear: “Christian Zionism” is not authentic Christianity. It is devoted to a single monstrous heresy: that wicked Jews can reoccupy God’s holy land, a region of the earth originally set aside by Him to signify heaven. It rejects God’s command that His church not be unequally yoked with one of the vilest, most arrogant and oppressive systems of all time.

If there is one verse Zionist Christians should take to heart, it is Revelation’s last day’s cry to God’s people to flee “Babylon the Great,” the Harlot Israel.

Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers in her sins, that ye receive not her plagues. For her sins have reached up to heaven and God hath remembered her iniquities. (Rev. 18:4-5)

I cringe when I hear well-meaning people talk about out “judeo-Christian” heritage. Nothing could be further from the truth. The only common thread between Christianity and judaism is the Ten Commandments–nothing more.
The “god” of judaism is a vengeful god, totally unlike the merciful and welcoming God of Christianity.
Christianity welcomes ALL, regardless of nationality or social status–not true of judaism.
Judaism also promotes a form of supremacy, relegating all gentiles to the status of “livestock”–subhumans with souls, only to be used for the advancement and benefit of jews.
Jews DID murder Jesus Christ–sad to say, even the present-day Catholic church has bought into absolving the jews for Jesus Christ’s murder. As always is the case, the jews got the Romans to do their “dirty work” for them–crucifying Jesus Christ.
Looking through history, jews have ALWAYS got others to do their “dirty work” (wars) for them, quite often financing both sides.
Islam and judaism are closely related, the Koran having many of the same attributes as judaism, when it comes to a supremacist attitude. You see, both the Islamic Koran and jewish Talmud promote their respective brands of supremacy, making it OK to lie, cheat, and steal from non-believers; each promoting certain “laws” for believers that exact greater punishment imposed on non-believers, while promoting no punishment for believers that transgress against non-believers.
Islam must be given credit for honoring Jesus Christ and his mother Mary, while jewish texts denigrate both Jesus Christ and Mary.
That being said, it could be ascertained that Islam is an arabicized form of judaism.
Jews have been kicked out of 109 countries. It is time to repeat the practice for number 110.

The Talmud is where the serious racial supremacism comes from. That’s where they get the idea that Jews are human and the goy are animals, without souls.

The Jewish leaders got corrupted while in Babylon, which is apparently where they got their Satanic, Talmudic ideas from.

The Pharisees Jesus dealt with followed Talmudic thought. Jesus said they follow their father, the Devil, and his works they will do. And he talks about the Jews who are not Jews, but the synagogue of Satan. He warned us about their leaven, but most evangelicals seem to have totally missed that, and now support everything they say and do.

I don’t understand the reason God did everything in the old covenant, but I think I can explain one situation that He gets a bad rap for. When He told the children of Israel to kill every man, woman and child when they went into Canaan, I do think there was demonic interbreeding that still affects us today, because they didn’t obey God. Please consider:

Also, God in the NT isn’t a cupcake either. He’s serious about holiness, but most pastors today are deceiving the people by saying we don’t really have to abide in Christ (John 15, etc.), having clear consciences and clean hearts to have confidence when we see Jesus face to Face on our judgment day. Consider what Paul says in Romans 11:

20 … don’t be conceited, but fear; 21 for if God didn’t spare the natural branches [the jews], neither will he spare you. 22 See then the goodness and severity of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you will also be cut off.

Remember, God killed Ananias and Saphirra in the Book of Acts meeting, because they lied to the congregation.

Jesus said this to the church in Thyatira in Rev. 2:

19 “I know your works, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that your last works are more than the first. 20 But I have this against you, that you tolerate your woman, Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. She teaches and seduces my servants to commit sexual immorality, and to eat things sacrificed to idols. 21 I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality. 22 Behold, I will throw her into a bed, and those who commit adultery with her into great oppression, unless they repent of her works. 23 I will kill her children with Death, and all the assemblies will know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.

You said:

Have you seen this 3-minute video? That’s what these guys actually say!

“Christian” Zionism incorrectly puts modern day Israel and Jews into what God said to Abraham in Genesis 12, so most evangelicals sinfully support all of the Talmudic evil the “Jews” do today, including mass murder in our many reverse-Christian wars led by Israel.

Jesus stood up to the Talmudists, while today’s “Christians” support all of the evil they do — a key reason why America is going down, as they bring about the one-world government which their “messiah” (the Antichrist) will lead.

watch what you say about Israel. God said He would bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse Israel, and He hasn’t changed. You can not blame the Jews for everything, remember it is God who knows the heart of us all. it is not up to you or anyone else to judge them, you are putting a little deceit out there yourself.

My entire Christian life, I believed modern Israel was the real deal too, but only because it was all I ever heard from “Christian” leaders. I never imagined they could actually be Talmudic and anti-Christ, like the Pharisees were in Jesus’ day; though, I have visited Israel twice, and nothing I experienced there indicated anything holy.

We need to be like the Bereans and make sure everything we’ve been taught is true.

The truth is: God’s words to Abraham in Gen. 12.3, “I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee” do NOT refer to the modern state of Israel.
